My baby boy needs a name! Opinions on shortlist please

[zippyswife]

Ok. Ideally looking for something solid and strong but uncommon. This is the current shortlist Alfie my newborn boy:

Jonas
Milo
Elliott
Fergus (Gus)
Luke
Ewan
Jacob
Edison
Hamish

This isn't exhaustive and suggestions are welcome.

Sorry I don't know why that says Alfie my new born..!??? Should be for my newborn. For the record I'm not a fan of Alfie.

Oh Fergus!!! Big strong man-name plus a rare enough sir name in Ireland from the west

Is there a Scottish family link? I love Hamish and Fergus

[zippyswife]

No. I love Scottish names. We're English but with Irish ancestry.

Congratulations on you baby boy, zippy!

Personally, I love Elliott (with that spelling ) with Jacob as my second favourite.

[BikeRunSki]

Ewan

[Jw35]

I like Luke and Jacob although I see those as soft names. Really dislike Fergus and Edison

[Meeep]

I like Fergus!

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Elliot is my favourite from that list.

Love Gus bit hate all the long versions.

Like a previous posters suggestion of Fraser.

What do they mean? A name should have a good meaning, not just sound good.
My friend in school was called janine. A beautiful sounding name, but it means foetus. I was alwayas quiizzical that her parents couldnt come up with a name that gave her something to live up to or aspire to, or basically be something other than a description of her at a stage in her life. I regularly call my daughter, 'little girl' but its a term of endearment, I would never lumber her with such a name.
So whatever is on your list, it depends entirely on what the name means, and who, historically, had that name also. I like LUke because I am a star wars fan and the character was a good one.

[Penguito]

Love Fergus!

[Penguito]

Janine means gift from God

[BlahBlahfuckingBlah]

Love Milo
